Ubiquity removes fcitx when the selected locale isn't any of CJKV (such behavior is supported by the canonical desktop team), so I'd recommend to do the same on input methods in such a way which will not hurt users anyway...

Then run: apt install --no-install-recommends fcitx-bin Then login with some locale that uses dead keys, for example the Greek locale. Then type e.g. ";"+"a". It's supposed to show "ά", but instead it shows "´α". At that point, fcitx isn't running, yet `im-config -a` reports that it's the selected input method. $ env | egrep '_IM|XMOD' CLUTTER_IM_MODULE=xim QT_IM_MODULE=xim XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx QT4_IM_MODULE=xim GTK_IM_MODULE=xim If fcitx-bin is installed along with all its recommended dependencies, then fcitx is running normally and the issue described above doesn't occur anymore. At that point, the environment variables are: $ env | egrep '_IM|XMOD' CLUTTER_IM_MODULE=xim QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx QT4_IM_MODULE=fcitx GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx At present I've only tested with the MATE desktop environment. It also happens with the MATE live CD, as fcitx-bin is indeed preinstalled there without its recommended dependencies.
